More and more CFOs are moving meetings front of mind.
For years, meeting professionals have promoted how important it is to get on the radar screens of C-level executives. To get their buy-in on strategic meetings management. To win a seat at the table.
The good news is that more and more CFOs get it: Because of higher meeting costs, Sarbanes-Oxley, new data-tracking and reporting technologies, and other reasons, many CFOs now see meeting spend as an area that is ready for expense management.
John Adair, CFO at Redmond, Wash.-based Concur, is the perfect example. While meeting planning is currently a decentralized function at Concur, Adair is actively involved in tracking and monitoring meeting spend. The company uses its own expense-management software, Concur Meeting, to capture data on all meetings planned companywide, and Adair receives reports on everything from the number of meetings being planned to attendee registration and total meeting spend.
Concur is in the business of expense management, so you might think that Adair is more aware of meetings than most — but he disagrees. "Over the past three to four years, meetings have gotten more and more attention [from C-level execs]. I think I am probably a typical CFO. I get reporting on all meetings of any size. We set up specific budgets for meetings and monitor spend against those budgets. We do real-time reporting and see how the travel component of a meeting is running against the budget."
A survey of Corporate Meetings & Incentives' readers confirms that: One in four planners reports that their CFOs' involvement in meeting management has grown over the past 12 months. Thirty-seven percent say that their CFOs are involved in approving meeting spending, and 27 percent say that their CFOs have some involvement in both setting meeting policy and site-related decisions. And this, readers say, will only grow.
What Gets Measured?
All of this is good news for planners who, instead of viewing C-level oversight as Big Brother, see this increased interest from top management as an opportunity to grow their strategic roles and gain support for their departments' initiatives.
Pamela Ferranti, manager, meeting management solutions, Xerox Corp., Webster, N.Y., is one example. Ever since the company took a cue from its corporate travel department and developed a centralized meeting-management solutions department in 2004, her department has had the buy-in of her CFO.
And as the strategic meeting management program at Xerox continues to mature (Ferranti and her team are working to expand the program globally), she now reports monthly to senior management on such metrics as number of meetings going through their department, number of attendees per meeting, projected meeting spend, and cost per attendee.
Ferranti is evaluated on how her division contributes not only to savings and cost avoidance, but also to top-line growth. "Some people might think that an organization like ours that provides an internal service would not contribute to revenue generation, but it's absolutely the opposite," she says. "We're responsible for feeding data from customer events into our sales database. From there, the sales force has the ability to see which customers attended Xerox events and then have intelligent conversations with them as a result."
She communicates results such as these to the company's senior officers through a monthly management letter, and reports on savings initiatives, such as integrating air-booking software from GetThere into StarCite's attendee registration platform, which resulted in a reduction of air-ticket fulfillment fees by 75 percent. An incredible 98 percent of the company's meetings are now booked through her department, which helped to achieve a savings of 40 percent on meeting expenses in 2007.
How Much Should CFOs Care?
According to a recent study by Boston-based research firm The Aberdeen Group, meetings represent a multimillion-dollar category of spend that, on average, is equal to 2.8 percent of a company's revenue. While these numbers — and efforts such as Ferranti's — should demand the attention of the finance department, the question is how much attention?
CFOs who do not have any meetings oversight are likely missing a huge opportunity to control costs, says Kari Knoll Kesler, global manager, Honeywell meeting solutions, St. Louis Park, Minn. "The number of meetings that companies think they plan and the number they actually plan are usually drastically different. In my experience, companies typically spend three times more on meetings than they estimate."
Kesler, who was hired at Honeywell to initiate a SMMP, has the huge task of "making sure we are making the right decisions about the company's $66 million annual investment in meetings and events." That means the 5,000 events that planners at Honeywell execute each year must all go through her department, which resides in procurement and reports to finance.
Appointing Kesler to a senior position with strategic oversight of meetings (effectively just two people removed from the CFO) has freed her company's top financial officer to worry about other things. "Meeting management isn't something he thinks about every week," she says of CFO Dave Anderson. "It's somewhere on his huge radar, but from a big-picture perspective, this is what we should be doing, and it's what he expects us to do."
Kesler admits that getting time in front of a busy CFO can be a challenge. While her efforts have helped the company to achieve an annual savings of between 10 percent and 12 percent, she still has to sell the value of her department whenever there is a change in management. She recalls a transitional period when her team went from reporting to shared services to reporting to finance, and she found herself once again explaining the program's value to Honeywell's CFO. "During a review meeting, the agenda called for our team's initiatives to be discussed along with a number of other high-level initiatives that day. The CFO took one look at the agenda and said, 'Let's kill this. We don't need to focus on this,' referring to the program I had been working on for the past two years."
Luckily, she was able to convince him otherwise, but notes that knowing how to communicate is key. "When talking to finance, it's about the numbers — being able to show that the program will self-fund and that it will reap savings."
Financial Pressures
CFOs' increasing involvement in meetings isn't just the result of planners such as Kesler bringing it to their attention. The current financial landscape also has a lot to do with it.
"We continually look for the opportunity to spend less, and meetings seems like an area that is somewhat ripe for management," says Steve Shebik, vice president and CFO at Allstate Insurance Co., Northbrook, Ill. "Over the last couple of years, my oversight has intensified because travel costs are higher today than they have been in the past. We are not telling [meeting sponsors] where to go, but we are holding budgets at levels below where they were in the past and forcing people to decide how many people they are going to bring [to a meeting] and how much they are spending on each attendee."
For larger meetings, such as sales training and incentive trips, Shebik says his involvement is focused mainly on setting budgets. He relies on Allstate's vice president of procurement, Lori Yelvington, for everything else. "No contract can be signed by anyone but procurement," says Yelvington. "We sign off on contracts to make sure that we are protecting the company from risk. We also look for things that might stand out, like excessive fees."
The Outsourcing Option
At Fort Worth, Texas-based Elbit Systems of America, the U.S. subsidiary of the Israeli defense electronics manufacturer, CFO Bill Augat recently decided to outsource all the company's travel to a third-party provider and mandated that all employees use it. He meets with CFOs from each of the company's four business units monthly to discuss the new travel policy.
His motive? "To find ways to wring more cost out of the business so we can reinvest it and grow other activities such as R&D," says Augat.
This is the model through which most CFOs get involved in meetings, says Randall Kane, managing partner, Acquis Consulting Group, a New York-based management consulting firm. "They are first looking at meetings through a business-travel lens," he says. "They are saying 'We have a strong mandated travel policy in place, why don't we use that as a baseline to construct a model for meetings?'"
Honeywell's Kesler believes that at least minimal components of an SMMP are a good idea for even the smallest meeting spend. "It's a gap in data that CFOs should want to see filled in."
Advances in technology have made that data more readily available. "Years ago we simply didn't have robust meeting-management tools available to companies to allow them to really administer and manage this process," says Concur's Adair. "These tools have really just come about in the last few years."
He'll be keeping a keen eye on the category, that's for sure. "As we continue to grow, we will reevaluate the need to centralize meetings management, no differently from the way that we evaluate the need to centralize other services across the business," he says.
"It wouldn't surprise me if we made the decision to have a centralized meetings-management program within the next year or two."
A Value-prop in C-level Terms
"When executives understand the magnitude of the dollars being spent on meetings, and they understand that there is no central visibility into that spend, that's when they sit up and say, 'You know, we could have a quick win here.'" That's how Kevin Young, vice president of marketing and midmarket solutions for meetings-technology provider StarCite, sees it. StarCite has developed a model to project the effect that a strategic meeting management program will have on earnings, the expected ROI of an SMMP, the payback period for this type of investment, and other metrics. StarCite weighs such factors as the industry in which the company competes, annual revenue, travel and expense spend, and how mature the company already is in terms of its meetings management.
Young says that, so far, the projections have proven to be pretty accurate. On average, the companies that StarCite analyzed saw a savings of between 15 percent and 20 percent from making the technology investment.
"We give this model to the people we are working with so that it is easier for them to go speak to their CFO and say, 'Here is the business case for doing this.'" Without data, he says, "Frankly, the CFO doesn't care."

AMHERST, N.Y. — As Paul Pasqualoni walked off the field after this debacle, this absolute debacle, he didn't even bother looking at Warde Manuel. The UConn athletic director stood there on the sideline, arms folded, and the UConn football coach was close enough to touch him as he walked past.
Their eyes never met.
In the closing minutes of this debacle, this absolute debacle, George DeLeone leaned over to talk into the ear of running back Lyle McCombs. UConn has the worst run offense in the nation, generating only 27 yards on 39 attempts Saturday. As they sat there together on the bench, associate head coach and running back, McCombs, who ran for 1,151 yards as a freshman yet has only 200 in four games as a junior, appeared to be horribly frustrated.
"I was," McCombs said.
And as he stood there at UB Stadium following this 41-12 debacle, quarterback Chandler Whitmer — who was sacked five times, threw two of UConn's three interceptions and fumbled on an opening drive that set the tone for this absolute debacle — was asked to describe his frustration level.
"No, I can't," Whitmer said from underneath his bow tie.
Far be it for me to speak for the UConn fan base, but judging from my email and Twitter accounts, I think I am in position to describe its frustration level.
I'd say it's one step beyond through the roof and heading for the moon.
"I think every UConn fan is asking the same question … Can basketball season come any faster.#comeonboys," came one tweet during the first half.
It was from former UConn basketball player Caroline Doty.
It got so bad, I admit I tweeted this, "I'm not saying things are desperate, but Jonathan Husky just asked me for directions to Niagara Falls."
Sometimes you need a little gallows humor to run cover for the hard-core stuff that's coming. And here it is:
I can't see what's to be gained from Paul Pasqualoni coaching the rest of the season.
It's a lousy thing to say and even a lousier thing to write. Pasqualoni is a good man. Pasqualoni has forgotten more about football than I know.
Still, at 10-18, there is a reason why he is listed as No. 1 on the hottest seat among 123 coaches nationwide on Hotseat.com. Much more that that, there is something deeper, more profound, to be found in this 0-4, this 0-for-2013: Even if UConn figures out a way to eke out a win over winless South Florida at home after the bye week, even if UConn figures out a way to slip past Temple and Memphis, these are hollow droppings on the trail to failure.
Even if the Huskies figure out a way to go 4-4 in this new Frankenstein known as the American Athletic Conference to finish 4-8 overall, the program under Pasqualoni sadly isn't going anywhere. Change is coming. It's only a matter of days or weeks.
"Conference play, that's what really counts," said wide receiver Geremy Davis, who had five catches for 102 yards and stood as one of the only bright spots before leaving the game with cramps. "We could go undefeated in that season and go to a big bowl still."
If Davis' words sound a little delusional, that's OK. College athletes are supposed to sound eternally optimistic. Always give the ol' college try. It's Manuel's decision that ultimately will matter, if not in the coming days, then certainly by the end of the season.
"We've got to make sure we all stick together," safety Ty-Meer Brown said, "because if we all start pointing fingers at each other, we're going to fall apart."
That is true. Yet the larger truth in the larger picture is it already has fallen apart.

However, casinos are having a hard time verifying whether or not players are physically located within New Jersey's borders, nj.com reports.
This has resulted in some state residents being wrongfully prohibited from playing games online, according to the report.
According to the Division of Gaming Enforcement's website, the Borgata, Tropicana, Trump Plaza, Trump Taj Mahal, Caesar's and Harrah's have all been approved for online gambling in the state.
The general manager at Tropicana told nj.com that about 75 percent of potential gamers visiting their website have been denied because the system couldn't verify whether or not they were New Jersey residents.
However, officials say each day more and more players are being granted access to online gaming throughout the state because of technological improvements and the assistance of customer service representatives, according to the report.
Potential gamers have encountered problems depositing money into accounts with the state's casinos that have been approved for online gaming because some major banks refuse to process online gambling transactions, according to the report.
There have been no complaints about the performance of the games online, according to the report.

'The Showtune Mosh Pit' for January 2nd, 2013
by Paul W. Thompson
Overheard last weekend under the showtune
video screens at Sidetrack and The Call:
Happy New Year, Mosh Pit Peeps! And you know what that means? It's time once again for the twice yearly Showtune Mosh Pit "Top Ten Hot Topix!" It's been six months since our last countdown, from the heat of summer to the depths of a cold (but not yet snowbound) Chicago winter. We've touched on 170 different topics since Independence Day, and here are the ten most popular!
But first, a first! I've never done an Honorable Mention before. But it seemed like there were five topics, all local productions, which deserved to be brought up one last time. They are (in alphabetical order): "A Class Act" from Porchlight Music Theatre, "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson" from Bailiwick Chicago, "42nd Street" from Theatre At The Center, "Singin' In The Rain" from Drury Lane Theatre and "Smokey Joe's Café" from Theo Ubique Cabaret Theatre. Congratulations to them! Whew!
And now, to the Top Ten countdown!
10. "Les Miserables." The end of 2012 was a bombardment of riches from the 1985 London production of Claude-Michel Schonberg's and Alain Boublil's French musical about Valjean, Javert, Fantine, Cosette, Marius, Eponine, Enjolras, Gavroche and the Thenardiers. (Did I leave anyone out?) The "25th Anniversary Production" of the stage show visited us via Broadway In Chicago for the last two weeks of November, and blew us away with a fresh vision of theatricality for the now beloved score and emotion-laden plot. And on Christmas Day, the Hollywood film version of the show opened to great attention and opinion-making on all fronts, with the various qualities of Tom Hooper's film and the singer-actors he cast in it (Tony winner Hugh Jackman and Oscar winner Russell Crowe chief among them) free fodder for late night conversation and all day social media discussions. Whatever your opinions, ignoring the Barricade was hard to accomplish.
Broadway In Chicago's National Tour Presentation
9. The Music Box Theatre. We do love our Music Box! The vintage movie theater on Southport Avenue seems to love us back, too. Within the last few months, the theater has offered sing-along versions of "The Sound Of Music" and "Xanadu," plus its annual Christmas Show presented "White Christmas" and "It's A Wonderful Life." One could also catch the new independent film "Scrooge And Marley" there, which was filmed entirely in Chicago and featured original songs by the Annoyance Theatre's Lisa McQueen. "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and "Phantom Of The Paradise" are coming up there soon. OK, those are not family favorites or 3D extravaganzas. But be patient. There's more to come, I'm sure!
8. "I Love Lucy Live On Stage" at the Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place. This independent commercial production, a hit in Los Angeles, set up shop in Chicago at Broadway In Chicago's Magnificent Mile outlet in September, took a break for the holidays (to make way for the play "Potted Potter") and is now back ("Potter" having moved--theatrical real estate is tricky!) and is playing through March 3, 2013. The two original Los Angeles leads came here, and Sirena Irwin is leaving with a BroadwayWorld Chicago Award for her portrayal of Lucy Ricardo in two original scripts from the beloved 1950s television show. There's music with the commercial breaks and the studio audience interaction, and of course, Ricky Ricardo was a bandleader. You got the idea!

Jazz commentators talking about how Favors is going to be better than Davis, joy
Ryno on fire
Teams:New Orleans Hornets(Pelicans) & Houston Texans
All of our power forwards can stretch the court. I can't believe we have Anderson, Davis & Smith at power forward, it's ridiculous.
Rivers is most effective when driving to the hoop, missing a layup and letting AD clean up. Hey, whatever works.
Would love to see a Rivers shot go in, just once
Favors will be a fine player, but no where near the talent of Davis.
That's the Ryno we need.
Rivers still seems wide eyed. He's gonna settle in eventually.
That's why you keep your head up, even if you're 7'.
That's a block.
"Every fight is a food fight when you're a cannibal."- Demetri Martin
Yeah, Favors is gonna be able to do that.
2 blocks in a row for Ad...we are so lucky to have this 19yo!

Vegan Diet Reverses Diabetes SymptomsPosted: Thursday, August 03, 2006
People who ate a low-fat vegan diet, cutting out all meat and dairy, lowered their blood sugar more and lost more weight than people on a standard American Diabetes Association diet.
They lowered their cholesterol more and ended up with better kidney function.
Vance Warren, a 36-year-old retired police officer living in Washington, said he lowered his a1c from 10.4, considered uncontrolled diabetes, to 5.1, considered a healthy level, over 18 months. "My life is much better being 74 pounds (34 kg) lighter," Warren told the news conference.
Participants said the vegan diet was easier to follow than most because they did not measure portions or count calories. Three of the vegan dieters dropped out of the study, compared to eight on the standard diet.
"I hope this study will rekindle interest in using diet changes first, rather than prescription drugs," Dr. Neal Barnard, president of the Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine, which helped conduct the study, told a news conference.
Barnard's team and colleagues at George Washington University, the University of Toronto and the University of North Carolina tested 99 people with type 2 diabetes, assigning them randomly to either a low-fat, low-sugar vegan diet or the standard American Diabetes Association diet. After 22 weeks on the diet, 43 percent of those on the vegan diet and 26 percent of those on the standard diet were either able to stop taking some of their drugs such as insulin or glucose-control medications, or lowered the doses.
The vegan dieters lost 14 pounds (6.5 kg) on average while the diabetes association dieters lost 6.8 pounds (3.1 kg). The a1c fell by 1.23 points in the vegan group and by 0.38 in the group on the standard diet. In the dieters who did not change whatever cholesterol drugs they were on during the study, LDL or "bad" cholesterol fell by 21 percent in the vegan group and 10 percent in the standard diet group.
The vegan diet removed all animal products, including meat, fish and dairy. It was also low in added fat and in sugar. The American Diabetes Association diet is more tailored, taking into account the patient's weight and cholesterol. Most patients on this diet cut calories significantly, and were told to eat sugary and starchy foods in moderation.
All 99 participants met weekly with advisers, who advised them on recipes, gave them tips for sticking to their respective diets, and offered encouragement.
"We have got a combination here that works successfully," said Dr. David Jenkins of the University of Toronto, who worked on the study. "The message that we so often get with diet is that it is no good because nobody follows it for very long."
Dr. Joshua Cohen, George Washington University associate professor of medicine, said everyone diagnosed with diabetes is told to start eating more carefully.
"That may be among the hardest things that any of us can do," Cohen told the news conference.
The vegan diet "is at least as good, if not better than traditional approaches," Cohen said. According to the researchers, a vegan diet may be easier for diabetics to follow because there are no limits on portions, calories or carbohydrates.

Oh, I thought you meant "fair" as in "excellent," "good," "fair" and "poor," so my best fair food is a plain mixed green salad. It becomes good if you add some gorgonzola cheese, raisins, pine nuts and chopped sweet peppers. It moves into excellent territory when you top it all off with a freshly made fig-balsamic vinaigrette seasoned with salt, pepper and chopped parsley. Enjoy, but don't ask me for my best "poor" recipe. :-)

Oh, I thought you meant "fair" is in "excellent," "good," "fair" or "poor"--so I would say my best fair food is a mixed green salad with nothing on it. It becomes good food if you add some feta cheese, olives, onions, and bacon bits, and it turns into excellent if you top the whole thing with some pine nuts and freshly made olive oil-fig balsamic glaze vinaigrette with fresh parsley sprigs.

says invalid serial number-i got it via email from adobe. (CS6 design standard student edition).
I think that you'll need to get in touch with support to sort this out.
But you could check your order to see if you ordered and upgrade or a new purchase. The serial numbers for upgrade are different, and require the earlier version on your computer ( or its serial number instead).
If you've oredered an upgrade, check that you're entering the correct serial number. You'll probably be prompted to enter both: once for qualifying product and once for the new upgrade.
Let us know if this was the issue. If not, I suggest that you get in touch with Adobe Support.
thank You Vikrant Rai. It turned out to be very simple - before i had the full version (i bought cs6 in Polish) I installed the trial in english so while upgrading it to the full version (after getting my serial via email from adobe) i didn't know that i have to install it once again in Polish. By the way - It would be VERY HELPFUL if adobe users could change the programme language AFTER INSTALLATION. i made a mistake with buying the Polish version and now I have to use it for the next couple of years (I'm way more familliar with my programmes in english :] ).
In case you want it, you can order a language swap to English. The details are here: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/order-product-platfo rm-language-swap.html..
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I sent an e-mail to Adobe. Let's see what happens :] You are a great helper here Vikrant Rai.

it's the best anime to come along since Cowboy Bebop back in the mid 90s.n
Decades from now, Summer Wars will be seen as the official arrival of Mamoru Hosoda into the realm of historically important anime directors.
From the visionary directory of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2007 Japanese Academy Prize, Best Animated Feature) comes the story of an ordinary family going to extraordinary lengths to avert the impending cyber apocalypse!
Kenji is your typical teenage misfit. He's good at math, bad with girls, and spends most of his time hanging out in the all-powerful, online community known as OZ. His second life is the only life he has – until the girl of his dreams, Natsuki, hijacks him for a starring role as a fake fiancée at her family reunion. Things only get stranger from there. A late-night email containing a cryptic mathematic riddle leads to the unleashing of a rogue AI intent on using the virtual word of OZ to destroy the real world, literarily. As Armageddon looms on the horizon, Kenji and his new "family" set aside their differences and band together to save the worlds they inhabit in this "near-perfect blend of social satire and science fiction."

Pours a cream, three-finger head that fades very slowly leaving a good lace. Murky amber color. Good carbonation and medium bodied. Hoppy clove nose, flavor some grapefruit hops with hints of caramel. Lingering bitterness. Pricey at $7.75 for a 500ml bottle from Bert's Better Beers Hooksett NH. Bottled 1/4/2014.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75
Poured from a bottle into a shaker pint, the beer is a muddled, slightly hazed, brown-copper coloring with a filmy, clingy, off-white surface coating of head. Aromas of resiny and piney hops, bubblegum, cotton candy, rich caramel, and tangy tropical fruit sweetness. Very rich on the nose. Flavors are toffee rich and roasty, with a solid sweetness that is balanced by a peppery, resiny, bitter hoppiness. Caramel and toffee command the palate, but the aftertaste is solidly owned by a rich, bitter, and peppery hops presence. Citrus fruit characteristics make passing appearances throughout your drinking experience. Very bold and smooth in mouth, but with enough carbonation to keep it from overpowering. The finish is smooth and clean, with a slight spice linger and dryness. Solid brew, flavorful and balanced, and not as hopcentric as most offerings in the style.

Bottle picked up at Bert's
Pours a slightly hazy medium copper color with a tightly bubbled off white head that shows moderate retention. Caramel, toffee, and a hint of butterscotch malt aromas countered by a huge grapefruity lemony citrus a hint of pine. The flavor is a little different than the nose promised. Bitter pine and lemon pith that is barely sweetened with caramel and toffee. Sharp acrid hop bite with a hint of alcohol taste. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a lingering sharp bitter mouthfeel. Lots of bittering hops were used here, more late additions could mellow some of the harshness. Nice brew, I certainly wouldn't turn down another.

From the 16.9 fl. oz. bottle. Sampled on April 18, 2014.
Cloudy, medium amber pour with a modest off-white head.
Check out those floral and perfume hop aromas on the nose. They're penetrating! Some buried roasted malt but mainly hops.
The body is in the medium range but it is also kind of chewy in texture.
The first couple of sips are hopped to the max. It does have 106 IBU's. But it seems to mellow as it goes along and warms up. But the hops penetrate the senses and the taste buds with the malt notes taking a distant second...or even third or fourth.

500ml bottle (10/17/13) poured into a Duvel tulip.
A - A bit of a gusher out of the bottle, but managed to contain it in the glass without losing any. As is typical with gushers, this pours with a huge three fingered fluffy off-white head with outstanding
S - Very spicy on the nose...in fact quite Belgiany in character. I don't see anything on the label describing this as a Belgian DIPA, but it certainly smells like it. Plenty of yeast derived esters, spiciness - especially cloves, even a bit of earthy funk for good measure (maybe accidentally Brett infected?). I have to say this actually smells excellent - wasn't expecting the Belgian but certainly enjoying it.
T - Flavor mirrors the aroma almost perfectly...got exactly what the aroma indicated. Nice estery Belgian yeast - spicy and I'm still sticking by the funkiness - earthy with some horse blankets kicked in. Soft, buttery malt base, dry and biscuit as well. Hop bitterness is at a high level, firm and crisp with some nice grapefruity citrus flavors mingled in.
M - Medium body with a firm carbonation. Crisp and tingly in feel with an overall dry impression. Spicy and funky - very Belgian in character overall.
O - Not really sure that this tastes the way it was intended, but at the moment I don't much care. I came in expecting a straight forward DIPA and got a beer that had a lot more character to it - a nice surprise. It has been a long time since sampling Midnight Sun's 3767 (a personal favorite), but this is quite reminiscent of that beer. Love the funky brett character here. This was a very pleasant surprise for me.

Poured into a 13 oz tulip. Pours a dark orange, with a one in a half inch fluffy white head, that settles slowly leaving gobs of lacing. Smell is apricot, apple, grapefruit, tangerine, earthy hops, and fresh cut grass. Taste is apricot and tangerine in the start, with a pucker of grapefruit and apple in the warming finish. Body is medium large, plenty of life, not dry, and easy drinking for people that like aggressive IPAs. Very surprised with this ones score, I really enjoyed and will get this again.

look: 4.25 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4
The beer pours a dark and muddled, caramel brown with a beautiful head of tiny, slightly creamy, white bubbles. In body, the beer is dark and impenetrable to the eye, giving off a deep mahogany hue. On the nose, the beer smells like an old school IPA. Bitter, pithy grapefruit tangoes with pine and a beautiful underlying sweet caramel smell that gives just a touch of toffee and, unfortunately, cloying alcohol. It actually reminds me slightly of an amped up Harpoon IPA. On the tongue, the beer tastes initially caramel sweet, slowly working into a deep bitter flavor while never fully killing the sweetness. The mouth does fill with saliva from a slight acidity coming from the hops. In flavor the beer begins as rich molasses and caramel candy malts with nuances of toffee. This candy sweetness is eventually married with a growing citric grapefruit and bristling pine. The finish is an odd marriage of the two, with the candy sweetness again touching the tongue alongside slight breadiness. The aftertaste turns towards a more expected flavoring of bitter grapefruit and pine, with touches of medicinal bitters thrown in and a touch of wood. In the mouth, the beer feels on the heavy side of medium in body with a slick and slightly syrupy mouthfeel. Carbonation puts a bit of a prickle to the tongue, but leaves no bite. The mouth is left bitter-dry except for where saliva pools to cancel out the acids. Overall, I'm not quite sure what to think of this beer. It is definitely closer in style to old school Double IPA's, and has way more of a malt character than I normally like in my DIPA's, but at the same time it is interesting, and really has a great malt quality to it that is simply balanced out by the big hops. I almost wish they would bump this ale up into the barleywine or American Strong Ale styles, if just to see more of the malts play through on the tongue. Alcohol is nicely hidden in the taste but comes through a bit on the nose. This is not what one normally looks for in a DIPA, but is tasty and interesting and worth trying. A nice shout-out to the past, and a great malt character.

A - Pours a deep amber with dense head and good retention and nice lacing.
S - Strong citrus grapefruit
T - Quite bitter, pine, grass, floral and citrus. Not a lot of malt base which I think would have been a nicer balance. Finishes with a soapy medicine aftertaste.
M - Medium body and a moderate amount of carbonation. Very crisp yet a bit thin due to the lack of malts.
O - This was good but not great. It definitely has a unique hop profile which I can only describe as soapy. I like to support my local brews and I'd consider picking this up again, but at $6.99 a bottle I'd rather go for a Resonation

Replace um...........
I just bought an 11-year-old house with two widely separated bathrooms. Both shower stalls have the exact same Moen valves and symptoms. Turning on the shower produces really hot water in the center position, but only warm water in either the extreme right or left positions. Cold water is sometimes available for a few seconds at start-up, but that is obviously attributable to standing water in the pipe overnight.
I have replaced many Moen cartridges in the past, have never seen one do this. I checked under the house for a tempering valve, but there are only supply lines. If there is a tempering valve, it would have to be hidden behind the shower wall and I can't imagine anyone burying one there.
Well, duh. Maybe I should just install new cartridges and be done with it. It seems odd that both cartridges would fail at the same time.
they are probably those posi temp cartiriges
wait till you see what they are goonna cost you...
probably around 65-75 each......
If you live in a hard water area try soaking them in vinegar. I have done that more than a few times with great success.
Replaced cartridges, had no effect. These are not Posi-Temp cartridges (which wouldn't fit these valves anyway), so I sit here scratching my head. All of the other faucets in this house are Moen cartridge valves and they do not have the same problem, so that rules out a piping mistake. It's looking more and more like some inventive plumber installed tempering valves in an inaccessible location.
Did you try turning them 180 degrees to see what happens?
Of course. Turning either or both of them 180 has no effect.
A postscript on the last maneuver. I tried swapping the new cartridges with each other (getting desperate) and one of the showers actually produced COLD water in the center position, warm at either side. Turning that cartridge 180 duplicated the warm-hot-warm condition.
Can you post a picture of the faucet?
Are these Moentrol valves,where you pull the handle out to turn it on and increase the flow? If so,possibly the balancing spool needs to be renewed.
Yes, they are Moentrol valves. I'm gonna try replacing the balancing spool if I can get at it. Sounds logical since the water here is hard as nails.
I would post a picture, but very little of the valve is actually visible.
I really do appreciate all the help! Thanks to all.
Belay the last remark. These are standard Moen cartridge valves with no balancing spool. Also, I have determined that there is no tempering valve installed anywhere, either in the wall or under the house. I have a call in to the original builder of this nightmare, so hope to have this issue resolved soon.
I am going to speculate, based on the findings so far, that you have 2 bad valves. A strange thing, but strange things happen.
My wife said to me, "What a shame those valves don't work, especially after I put the new handles on." I said, "What new handles?" She replied, "The ones I got at the hardware store last week. I put them on because the old handles were all scuzzy."
Has a light come on out there?
Ordinarily I wouldn't tell one on myself, but I should have caught this much earlier. The valve handles looked like Moen, but the flats in the slot were 90 degrees out of sync, so they would never work right.
Duh. I pass this on for whatever it's worth. Thanks for the help.
Yeah, that makes sense, I was wondering at one point, if the valve body had been installed wrong,
Having the wrong handle makes sense.

Vazquez knows importance of Sevilla trip
New Deportivo La Coruna coach Fernando Vazquez has labelled the trip to Sevilla a must-win game.
Vazquez, appointed on Monday as successor to Domingos Paciencia, has taken charge until the end of the season with Deportivo lying bottom of the Primera Division table, six points adrift of safety.
The Galician club - who head into the clash against 11th-placed Sevilla having recorded victory in only three matches this term, losing all of their last four - have 15 fixtures left in which to try to save themselves from the drop.
And Vazquez has declared he wants three points on the board immediately, saying: ``There are decisions I have to make still regarding the line-up, but what I do know is we have to win the game.
``I will try to win the game and I will be asking for it.
``I will make all possible transformations to put Sevilla in trouble - I'm not going there to draw.''
Vazquez is trying to foster as optimistic a mood as possible within the Depor camp.
``I have energy and enthusiasm and I am trying to pass this on to the players and make them see the Sevilla game as a chance to win, joyfully, with no depression,'' he said.
``The situation is as it is so let's face it.''
Depor have 16 points so far for the campaign and regarding the amount they might require to stay up, Vazquez said: ``You may not need the statistical average of recent years, it may be less - maybe 40.
``It depends on many teams, especially those from above.
``For example, if Real Madrid (who are third, 16 points behind leaders Barcelona) give up on the league there are points that will be in the air. It's complicated.''
Sevilla are looking to bounce back from their 4-1 defeat at Real Madrid last weekend, a result the Andalusian side's coach Unai Emery is not dwelling on.
``Losing at the Bernabeu is what we consider normal,'' Emery said.
``The team was not good there, but you have to move forward and understand that the Bernabeu war is not ours.
``Our war is on Friday, at the Sanchez Pizjuan.''

I have been working at Equifax full-time for more than 8 years
Pros – - Vacation (and you will need every ounce of it)
- Benefits (use it before it changes)
- 401K Matching
Cons – This is the worse company I have every worked for.
Upper management is dillusion at best (full of themselves at worst). The technology being utilized by workers is outdated.
The need to "be seen" is so problematic that people who want raises and promotions seem to intently slow down other departments by adding ridiculous steps into an already disfunctional process for fulfilling sales orders.
New products are introduced to the sales teams but operations is never told how to fulfill them once they are sold. Therefore, the sales rep ends up not only losing their sale but has to field calls from an irate customer on the issue for weeks.
Lying is a part of the corporate structure ... an entire team in operations was lied to about their job going away for months, they were let go 6 months after the first question was asked about their positions being terminated.
Sales is in such a dissaray, that you can boost a dying book of business up by 16% in 2 quarters and still be repremanded or fired because the book of business did not reach 100% of goal as a result of the last rep who had it.
Overworked, lied to and humiliated in meetings ... not worth it. It was an okay company when I started 8 years ago, but it has gone down hill for anyone NOT in upper management. I only stayed for the benefits but now it's not worth it and I'm looking for the door!
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

- Silicon Valley's 19 Coolest Places to Work
- Is Windows 8 Development Worth the Trouble?
- 8 Books Every IT Leader Should Read This Year
- 10 Hot Hadoop Startups to Watch
CIO - By now, you've probably heard that Mitt Romney wrote his acceptance speech on an iPad. (Oddly, he didn't write a concession speech.) If Romney had won, the content created on the iPad would have been heard around the world.
Who says the iPad is a lousy content creation device?
HANDS-ON: iPad mini wins praise in initial reviews
Well, most CIOs who support "Bring Your Own Device" iPads tell me that the tablet still has a long way to go before it replaces the venerable laptop. Crafting documents, spreadsheets and presentation slides, even writing long email missives on the iPad, can be tricky.
Knowledge workers have to be able to create content quickly and easily on the iPad. That's not happening yet, although apps are getting better. Microsoft Office-capable apps on the iPad have been evolving steadily, and early reports show Office on Microsoft's new Surface tablet is a solid productivity performer.
Slideshow: 15 Ways iPad Goes to Work
In the meantime, there are some tips and tricks to make you faster on the iPad today. The 9.7-inch touchscreen means there's little real estate to work with, so you'll need to be very efficient-that is, you won't be able to have multiple windows open. The touch keyboard reduces the real estate even more.
The Killer Keyboard
Content creation starts with the keyboard.
On the iPad, there are three options: the built-in on-screen touch keyboard and two types of physical keyboards that wirelessly connect to the iPad via Bluetooth. There's the small keyboard that doubles as a cover from vendors such as Logitech, and the full-length (albeit extremely thin) Apple Wireless Keyboard.
The decision on which keyboard to use is, of course, personal preference. Nevertheless, the keyboard will be critical, in terms of speed and efficiency.
I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I adapted to the touch keyboard. The keys do not feel crammed like they do with the small physical keyboards. I've tried to use small physical keyboards and have rejected them for this reason.
If you go the touch keyboard route, here are some important tips.
Putting in an apostrophe or quotation mark is usually a three-touch process starting with the ?123 button on the lower left, the apostrophe or question mark button, then the ABC button to get back to the QWERTY keyboard. This can get annoying really fast.
Instead, use this shortcut: In the QWERTY keyboard mode, hold down the exclamation point button for the apostrophe pop-up, and the question mark button for the quotation pop-up. Along these lines, when typing in a website URL, hold down the .com button for a pop-up menu of .edu, .us, .org and .net.
Another soft keyboard shortcut: Instead of typing a period and a space to start the next sentence, just double hit the spacebar. This will automatically add a period and a space.
The soft keyboard in landscape mode with the iPad propped up slightly using the Apple iPad cover is adequate for most of my content-creation needs. However, if I'm writing anything of significant length, I'll fire up the Apple Wireless Keyboard.

Meeting Professionals International has released a white paper addressing the role of our industry in greening meetings. The paper was drawn from the education sessions held in March at MPI's PEC Europe in Copenhagen.
During that conference, futurist Rohit Talwar, CEO of Global Futures and Foresight, said that there is a growing consensus among business leaders about the need for action on sustainability issues and global warming. Travel is one of the world's biggest greenhouse gas producers, and while no similar analysis has been done for meetings-specific travel, "this is a huge industry with a huge impact. We as an industry have a choice," he said. "We can either comply with regulations just enough to keep our customers happy, or we can move to a position where we're giving our customers something back."

Huffington Post UK | By Alastair Plumb Posted: 1/05/2012 12:22 Updated: 1/05/2012 12:30
Henry Wolf has a problem - a problem that he wants BMW to do something about. The problem he has is that he's suffering from a nigh-on non-stop erection, allegedy caused by the seat on his BMW motorbike... and he's angry enough to go to the courts about it.
San Francisco resident Mr. Wolf is suing not only the bike's manufacturer, BMW of North America, but also the company that made the bike's special 'after-market' seat, Corbin-Pacific Inc., because of the "personal injury, lost wages, product liability and emotional distress" he has suffered.
Wolf is claiming that this "a persistent, lasting erection" caused by "the ridge-like seat on his motorcycle, negligently designed, manufactured and/or installed by [the] defendants" has now made him "unable to engage in sexual activity, which is causing him substantial emotional and mental anguish" - all according to the civil suit filed in San Francisco Superior Court.
"It's been long-known that compression of the neurovascular supply to the penis - if it's compressed for a period of time, whether it be on a bicycle seat or some other device - it can actually cause prolonged numbness of the genitalia," the Michigan Institute of Urology's Dr. Michael Lutz told CBS Detroit.
"Not only in men, but women can also get numbness in that region if they're compressing those nervous structures to that region of the body."
For more details on this extraordinary story, take a look at this video report below.
